Reaction Paper:

Ô   is the lyrical screenplay adaptation of celebrated author

Alice Munroǯs short story DzThe Bear Came Over the Mountaindz.

Ô   is a beautifully moving love story that deals with

memory and the circuitous, unnamable paths of a long marriage. Married for
50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fionaǯs (Julie Christie) commitment to
each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness
and humour. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully
restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not
always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fionaǯs to make such
references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension
that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. As the lapses become
more obvious and dramatic, it is no longer possible for either of them to
ignore the fact that Fiona is suffering from Alzheimerǯs disease.

Eventually, Fiona decides that it is time for her to enter into

Meadowlake, a retirement home that specializes in the disease. One of the
more archaic rules of Meadowlake is that a patient may not have any visitors
during their first month in the facility in order to Dzadjust.dz After an
excruciatingly painful 30 days separated from his wife, Grant returns to
Meadowlake to discover Fiona seems to have no memory of him and has
turned all of her affection to Aubrey (Michael Murphy), another resident in the
home.

Grant, finding no option but to accept his new status as an attentive

acquaintance visits her daily and is forced to bear witness to the cement bond
that has developed between her and Aubrey. Over time, he befriends Kristy
(Kristen Thomson), a salt of the earth nurse who works at Meadowlake.
Touched by his dogged devotion, she takes a special interest in him. Through
their conversations, Grantǯs imperfect history and the perverse poetic justice
of this agonizing situation with Fiona and Aubrey becomes evident.

When Aubreyǯs wife, Marian (Olympia Dukakis) returns from her

vacation, she suddenly takes Aubrey out of Meadowlake. Fiona is devastated
by the separation and enters into a deep depression. Her condition
deteriorates rapidly. Grant, fearful for Fionaǯs life, embarks on the greatest act
of self-sacrifice of his life as a means to attaining his wifeǯs final happiness.
